Introduction
This section provides an overview of all key safety aspects for optimum
safety of the personnel, as well as safe and trouble-free operation.
Non-compliance with the instructions and safety warnings in these operating
instructions can result in considerable risks.
These operating instructions can only include the risks identified based on a
risk assessment. Risks that occur as a result of working conditions, the
location of the machine and the interfaces with external components must be
determined and the safety instructions amended accordingly.
Responsibility of the operator
Since the machine is intended for use in a commercial environment, the
machine operator is fundamentally subject to the statutory requirements for
safety at the workplace. In addition to the safety warnings in these operating
instructions, the safety, accident prevention and environmental protection
regulations governing the location where the machine is to be used are also
applicable.
The operator is obliged to inform himself about the applicable occupational
safety regulations and to carry out a risk assessment in order to identify
additional risks resulting from the specific working conditions at the location
of operation.
According to the results of the workplace risk assessment, the operator shall
issue, implement and document operating instructions. The operator is
responsible for ensuring that these operating instructions comply with the
applicable legal regulations for the entire operational life of the machine and
will amend them if necessary.
The operator manages who is responsible for working on or with the machi-
ne, including naming an agent to be responsible for the safe operation of the
machine and coordinating all tasks.
The operator ensures that all personnel who carry out work on or with the
machine have read and understood these operating instructions.
The operator must provide operating personnel with the necessary personal
protective equipment. The operator must make it compulsory that the
personal protective equipment be worn.
Where applicable, the operator must make sure before start up that the
machine where this product is to be installed or is a component corresponds
to the general safety requirements and stipulations of all relevant directives.
To keep the machine in a technically flawless condition at all times, opera-
tors will ensure that the maintenance intervals prescribed in these operating
instructions are followed. Operators will furthermore ensure that all necessa-
ry safety mechanisms are properly installed on the machine. They will check
these regularly for completeness and proper functioning.
